[Bozita]

This weekly show is really good listening. It's the best, the very best of what's known as college radio. Give it a try. You won't regret it.

from their website:

NEXT LIVE BROADCAST: Saturday, September 30th, 2006
This Saturday's live broadcast, begins at 9 AM (central), on WNUR 89.3 FM Evanston/Chicago. We also are broadcast live online via WNUR's web site (http://www.wnur.org) under the heading, "Listen Online."

Our guests this week include:

* Jon Wiener returns to talk about his book, "Gimme Some Truth: the John Lennon FBI Files," (http://www.LennonFBIfiles.com/) which are the basis for he new movie, "The US versus John Lennon." Jon was on a few weeks ago to discuss the Chicago Eight and his book, "Conspiracy on the Streets." Jon's Freedom of Information Act case, 'Wiener v. FBI', led to the release of the FBI's files on Lennon.

* Marjorie Cohn is a professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, president-elect of the National Lawyers Guild, and the US representative to the executive committee of the American Association of Jurists. Marjorie returns to This is Hell to discuss the Detainee Treatment and Commissions law which the New York Times called "a tyrannical law that will be ranked with the low points in American democracy, our generation's version of the Alien and Sedition Acts." We also hope to discuss Marjorie's AlterNet story, "Bush Fears War Crimes Prosecution and Impeachment." She also has a new book coming out next year, "Cowboy Republic: Six Ways the Bush Gang Has Defied the Law."

* Greg Palast (http://www.gregpalast.com) also returns to This is Hell. Greg is the author of "Armed Madhouse" and "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy." Greg was recently charged by the Department of Homeland Security with unauthorized filming of a “critical national security structure” in Louisiana. His recent columns include, " George Bush Should Get Down on his Knees and Kiss Hugo Chavez’s Behind," and " Exxon-erated! Palast Escapes Clutches of Homeland Security."

* Matt Taibbi writes 'The Low Post' column for Rolling Stone. His most recent column is entitled, "I, Left Gatekeeper: Why the '9/11 Truth' movement makes the 'Left Behind' sci-fi series read like Shakespeare." We also hope to talk with him about two other recent columns, "Why Ask Why?: Five years after 9/11, the question remains unanswered," and "Eat Me, Joe Biden; Democrat makes even Rumsfeld look good."

Our correspondents this week include LaddieO.com who will give us a live web and tech report from the hermetically sealed clean rooms at URL Labs; Jeff Dorchen, who will deliver a Moment of Truth; Dr. Krys Bigosinski, MD returns to generate more hate mail; and Elvis DeMorrow will rattle around in his Konspiracy Korner.
